To all whom it may concern: table pot having a plurality of pot cavities 55 Be it known that I,'HENRY F. CLARK, or receptacles thereln, the bottom walls of of Jeannette, lVestmoreland county, Pennwhich are at an angle to each other, and so sylvania, have invented a new and useful arranged that when the bottom wall of one Improvement in Glass-Pots, of which the pot cavity or receptacle is in substantially ollowing is a full, clear, and exact descriphorizontal position during the drawing 60 tion, reference being had to the accompanyoperation, the bottom wall of the next pot ing drawin s. forming part of this speciticavity or receptacle to be used, and from cation, in w ichwhich the residue of glass from the previ- Figure 1 is a sectional elevation showing ous operation is'being melted and drained once of these bubbles is due to the fact that in the patent to Linco n Tho n g, 0-

reversible or rotatable glass pots having a the bottom wall of the upper pot cavity or lower cavity 0 providedwith paral el bottom walls, so that the invention, wherein the pot body 12 is of be thoroughly removed from the walls of drawmg, the other two pot cavities will have a glass pot embodying my invention; and out, 1s in an inclined position. By reason ig. 2 is a section taken in a plane at right of this inclined position, I have discovered angles to the plane of section of Fig. 1; that a thorough drainingof the ot cavity Fig. 3 is a sectional view of a modified form may be obtained and that the a hering of 15 of the pot; and Fig. 4 is a plan view of the the globules or buttons of glass may be pot shown in F ig. 3'. prevented. eretofore, in drawing glass articles, Referring to the accompanying drawlngs, much difficulty has been experienced by the numeral 2 in Figs. 1 and 2 esignates a reason of the presence of bubbles in the glass reversible pot having the pot cavities 3 and 20 from which the articles are being drawn, 4 at opposite sides thereof. This pot is these bubbles causing defects in thedrawn mounted on the trunnion members 5 and 6 article. Many attempts have been made to in suitable supports 7. In the drawing, I discover the cause of this difficulty and to have shown the potrnounted in'substant ally obviate it. I have discovered that the presthe S me m nn r as d ri d and l m the residue of glass left on the walls of the 759,329, dated May 10, 1904,'the pot being pot from a previous drawing operation has capable of being raised and lowered relanot been thoroughly removed; but that small tively to the top stone 8, so that it can be buttons or globules of glass adhere to u h, readlly reversed to brlngeither pot cavity or globules is, when afresh batch of glass I In accordance with my invention, the hotis placed in the pot, to produce the e ob tom'walls 9 and 10 of the .two pot cavlties Y F 3 and 4 are at an angle to each other,as y invention has particular relation to most clearly shown in Fig. 2, so that when plurality oflcavities. In the use of such fr m wh the glass is a IS in a pots, as heretofore, it has been customary stantiallyhorizontal position, the bottom during the drawing operation from one side Wall of the lower ot cavity has a substanof the pot, to ap ly heat to the opposite 'tial inclination sufl icient togive a thorough f the pot for the purpose drainage toward one side, as indicated in of meltlng and draining out the residue of Fig. 2. The 0t is held in the proper levglass left from the previous operation, the eled position or drawing by its engagement two sides of the pot being used alternately with the top stone or plate 8. in drawing. The ot cavities have been In Fig. 3 I have shown a modified form of e lower cavlty which is being drained of triangular form in cross-section, with a pot 1 0 the glass residue is in substantially hori cavity13 in each of its three sides. It Wlll zontal 1position during the draining op'erabe readily understood that when anyone of have found that the glass cannot the pot cavities is" in horizontal posltlon for the pot cavity in this osition, but that the their bottom walls at inclined position so as buttons or globules alibve referred to will to be effectively drained in accordance with remain in the pot. To overcome this dilfimy invention.

culty, I have provided a reversible or rota-t It will be understood that heat is apphed to the cavity or cavities of the pot which are being drained, in the usual manner during the draining operation.

It will be understood that my invention is susceptible of various other embodiments, since I believe myself to be broadly the first to provide a rotatable or reversible glass pot having a plurality of cavities or receptacles whose bottom walls are at an angle to each other, for the purpose stated.

I claim 1. A- reversible or rotatable glass pot having a plurality of cavities or receptacles, the bottom walls of which are at an oblique angle to each other; substantially as described.

2. A reversible glass drawing pot having a plurality of cavities or receptacles whose the bottom walls of its two cavities or receptacles at an oblique angle to each other; substantially as described.

In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand.
